let’s circle back after the holidays

Halloween now feels like a month ago. But it was just a week ago! Since it was cold out I wore Leia so I could layer under it, and it's comfortable to sit in while waiting on trick or treaters. I ended up being home alone most of the night. Chase had to go over and help my aunt and uncle with something so I figured I was in for ...

spooky spectacular

Hey hi boy have the last few days been busy! Earlier last week I did finish up Stevie: But more on that later. Wednesday had dinner with the girls! Thursday a mysterious box showed up. Well, mysterious to Luna, not to me. Tiktok Shop finally got me, I said I'd never buy anything from there but... I did. This cat scratcher furniture thing. She has never liked actual cat scratcher ...

what a weird week

No, i don't have the christmas trees out yet - I probably mentioned it in the last post, but we got a new hot water heater last monday! YAY! Our old one hadn't gone out yet, but it had gotten very inconsistent, like one time the water would be piping hot and then the next 5 days lukewarm. It's nice to consistent hot water again. But because we had to clear ...

its finally fall!

It finally got a little chilly here. Went outside yesterday morning to get some catgrass for Luna and it was COLD! I'm normally a summer girlie but I'm ready to wear my hoodies. (I'll be ready for summer again by december LOL) Let's start with sewing updates -- I started on my Stevie top. I thought I'd get this in one go, because I based it on my duct tape ...

spooky scary skeletons

It's finally FALL YALL I finished getting the inside mostly decorated. I still have a few more lights to put up and I plan to put one of my dressforms in the front window in a spooky costume again. Thinking about using my Edith costume with my Donna Noble runaway bride veil for a spooky bride look? Gonna wrap the form in blue lights. Outside is partially decorated too... Put ...

why is it so monday in here

Boy what a strange weekend. But let's rewind back to Halloween since I hadn't talked about Halloween night yet. I wore Wanda that night to hand out candy: But we had such a low trick or treater turn out :( We have this one group that gets driven around on a trailer, about 25-ish kids all come pouring off of it when they pull into the cove, so that was the ...

any questions??

Happy Halloweeeen! So last week, Tuesday night, I got out all of of costumes for the weekend and did repairs/updates. That night I reglued my Wanda front piece back to the bodice (probably wearing it tonight but even if I don't it needed to be done) and fixed Kevin's jedi Luke boots -- last time he wore them, one of the zipper pulls just crumbled into nothing. (I mean, ...

this is halloween

Whoo! It's been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to start doing my makeup and for the second time could ...

October has really gotten away from me. Here it is less than a week from halloween and I still haven't even finished decorating. We have made good progress on the tombstones for the yard though. Here's one with the text dremeled out: And painted up: Chase glued the stands on this morning, so they should hopefully be ready to go in the yard tonight. Along with the other yard decorations. ...

First up - here's the house Halloween night: I had brought the dressform downstairs with Sarah on it to take a video in front of the fireplace, then set it up in our front window. Fireplace: We actually had a few trick or treaters! 4 all together, 2 groups of 2. I had ...
